"Aoibheann has brought together scientific areas of medicine with computer science to improve the chances of early intervention for people with brain cancer."
"She is a worthy winner of the Stripe Young Scientist and Technologist 2026."
"Aoibheann has taken a tragic health condition affecting hundreds of Irish families and applied cutting-edge adscience to move the field forward. It's a stunning piece of work,"
"We started learning about brain tumours, and specifically glioblastoma. And it kind of shook me. It was 2023, and I thought why is the survival rate only 5.1pc, the five-year survival rate?"
Aoibheann Daly, a 15-year-old fourth-year student, developed GlioScope, a multi-task deep learning and causal AI system for glioma and glioblastoma profiling. GlioScope predicts likely genetic mutations from MRI brain scans, enabling faster treatment decisions and reducing reliance on expensive, slow, and bleeding-risk tissue sampling. Judges called the project an extraordinary achievement and a stunning piece of work. Professor Catherine Darker praised the melding of medicine and computer science for improving chances of early intervention and named Aoibheann a worthy winner of the Stripe Young Scientist and Technologist 2026. The project originated from a short DCU course and was motivated by a 5.1% five-year survival rate.
